Torn

Capo 5

Intro: Cadd, G, D

Verse 1
Sorrow fills an empty heart (Cadd, G, G/F#)
I don’t know where you are but it, isn’t here (Cadd, Em, Dsus)
Cause if you were I’d feel, something different (Cadd, G, Em, Dsus)
If you were, I’d be singing for you (Cadd, Em, Dsus)
Singing, whoo whoo (Cadd, G, Dsus)

Chorus
Now I fight, this feeling under my skin (Cadd, G, Dsus)
Right and wrong, but now there’s a grey that’s in between (Em, G, Dsus)
I’m torn (Cadd)
Between you and everything (G, Dsus)
And still I’m torn (Cadd)
Between you and everything (Am, C, G, D)
(End: else that I want)

Verse 2
Shadows dance beneath the stars
Wandering, whispering
The words I long to say to you
But I haven’t got a clue
How not to cross these lines that are set in place
How to make things right when someone’s in my place
Singing, whoo whoo

Pre-Chorus
Well maybe, we’re gonna be something beautiful (Em, G, D)
I’ll save you, you’re the only one that can save me too (Em, Cadd, G, D)
There’s got to be something more to this (Em, Cadd)
I can’t let go of you (G, D)
But

How Great You Are

How Great You Are

Verse 1
I’ll see you again, my friend
I’ve thanked you once, I’ll thank you again my love
You’ve shown me grace I don’t deserve
Amazing grace that makes me good enough

I left you time and time again
Broke your heart again and again
You still stayed by my side
Gave me hope and strength and all your life

Chorus
My heart sings, of how good you are
Of how good you’ve been, to me
My soul sings, of how great you are
Of what you’ve done for me

Verse 2
You took all my guilt and shame
With the nails that brought you pain
Humble this proud heart of mine
Break me down and set my feet on higher ground

Bridge
You’re all I want
You’re all I need
Jesus

Love Is

2009-11-27T02:31:00.001-08:00

Love Is

Intro
Love is getting lost
And finding your way back to square one

Verse 1
I didn’t mean it to happen it
Just happened
My heart’s been pumping with yours
I never knew it would turn out this way
I can’t believe that I thought you would stay

Pre-chorus
If our love was enough
Then why am I here alone, thinking of you
Feels like goodbye, but I guess we’ll find out in time
That

Chorus
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is knowing you’re the reason I feel alive
Love is missing
Everything about you so
Love is crazy
Love is fine
Love is looking into
Your eyes

Verse 2
I somehow knew this would happen and it
Just happened
My thoughts’ been tangled with yours
I never guessed we would turn out this way
I still believe that we’re still the same

Bridge
Now we know
Where we’ve been
Where we’re going
Who we’re becoming
It still means something
To me

Exit
Love is getting lost
And finding our way back to square one

Rock Songs and Lullabies

2009-10-03T03:24:00.000-07:00

Rock Songs and Lullabies

Can you tell the difference between
Rock songs and lullabies
Or is the music driving
Our ears blind
Heads down, all over the wheel
Teardrops and memories yet to come true
And we pray
That always

We’ll find that time when everything was simple
Everything was like a lullaby
When everything we knew, was singing cause we meant it too
Those twinkling stars, I wonder what you are
But I miss you
I miss you

I think I found the difference between
Heart throbs and butterflies
I’m wondering if you’d like to
Dance with me
Too fast, we’re falling alone
Never thought this start would be the end
And we pray
That always

So can you take me back
Before our adolescence tore
Us apart
So can you take me back
When you and I were everything
That made sense at all

So can you tell the difference between
Rock songs and lullabies
Tonight

(C, G, Am, F)

In The Afterglow

2009-08-11T01:22:00.000-07:00

In The Afterglow

We stood in the afterglow
Distant lights shine from the windows
I laughed as you would sing that song I wrote
We danced, lay backs to the ground
Watched the twinkling of stars all around
You whispered you wouldn’t trade this, for anything
(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

We had a ball of a time
One kiss I’ll pretend that you’re mine
Traded secrets there’s one you’ll never know
(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

Can’t you see we’ve got this one night on our hands (D, Cadd)
Even then, we’ll make it never end (D, Em, Cadd)

Someday, we’ll understand why people just don’t understand (G, D, Asus, Cadd)
A thing, about you and me (G, D, Em, Cadd)
One day, we’ll talk about the things that made us roll with glee (G, D, Asus, Cadd)
And that’ll, be ten years ago (G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)
You said: after all we’ve been through (Asus)
I’ll never be the same (Cadd, Dsus)
Since I met you

(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

Since I met you, things haven’t been the same
But you’re the one thing that never changes
Make a promise you’re the company I’ll keep
The best part was falling asleep with you
As we let our dreams come true
In our hearts there’ll always be our story to tell
(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

Na,na,na,na-na
Na,na,na,na-na
(x4)

Bridge
Here we are, friends
Don’t forget, where
We came from, then
We know, now

What it means, to be
More than we, can be
You and me, we are
Everything
(x2)

(We just don’t care, anymore
We just don’t give, a thought what for
And time will stand, that I’m sure
This moment in Arveture

Be my friend, give it all
Be the strength, that makes me sure
And all I am, is all you are
This monument in Arveture)

(G, D, Em, Cadd)

hahaha. i borrowed part of Arveture's lyrics for the writing of this song cos it's pretty relevant. one of my non-emo songs. =)

In Your Pain

2009-07-18T00:17:00.001-07:00

In Your Pain

I thought I knew, love, well till I read Your little book
And Your word to me it spoke, and took my breath away
In the darkest of hours, you still chose to light the way
For me
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)

So it came, like darkness in the rain
“Just give me a reason to be saved”
And there you answered every single prayer prayed
The ones for a saviour’s grace
You gave it all
When in your pain, you made everything
Okay
(Now everything’s okay)
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)

They thought they knew, you, well, when you sacrificed yourself
And though they couldn’t tell, you gave love anyway
As you hung there and died, there was one thing on your mind-
The world you came to save
(G, Cadd, Em Cadd)

And so it came, like darkness in the rain
You gave me a reason to be saved
Convinced me you’re not just a piece of history
More than just a precious memory
You gave it all
When in your pain, you made everything
Okay
(You made everything okay)
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)

Picture painted perfect, the one who knew no sin became sin (Am, C, G)
Was it really worth it? The greatest sacrifice the world has seen (Am, C, G, D)
And all we have to do is let him in (Am, Cadd)

And so you came, like sunshine in the rain
You are the reason I am saved
Forgave me for all the sins I’d carry to my grave
The ones I thought would never change
You gave it all
When in your pain, you made everything

And so you came, like sunshine in the rain
You are the reason I am saved
Forgave me for all the sins I’d carry to my grave
The ones I thought would never change
But in the pain I caused you
You saved me
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)

Cos You Cared

2009-07-01T20:40:00.000-07:00

Cos You Cared

Verse 1
She came, she left
She woke up, I slept
She walked, and I knew I couldn’t stop her
I’m broken, again
This can’t be the end
I looked, and I knew I wouldn’t stop her
Cos I cared

Chorus
But everything has changed
Yeah everything has changed
What do I do now
When you’ve gone away
(It’s driving me insane
Well nothing’s been the same
Since you went home)

Verse 2
I miss, your breath
Your touch, your laugh
But most, of all you always being there
Cos you cared

Chorus-Bridge
Why’d you have to go
Why can’t you stay

Bridge
It’s over (stop thinking)
It’s over (stop feeling)
Over
A lifetime of the best

So whisper you’re with me
I’m not that strong without you anymore
I need a reason
To live up to everything they want

Here’s a song about you
For someone who’s been there all the while
I’ll keep on believing
That with you I’ll be alright somehow
(F, C, Am, G)

So I’ll take my promises,
And make every single count
I know I’m yours
Now it’s all so clear
You, me and one lonely cross
Oh, oh

(F, C, G)

Chorus
There is something here with you so special I never want to lose (C, G, F, C, G)
I’ve found what my heart’s beating for, I think it’s got everything to do with you (C, G, Am, C, G)
Cos every time I try to work things out they never do, without you (F, C, Am, G)
So I guess (F)
No I’m sure, that (G)
This is Love (Am, G, F)
(You are Love)

Verse 2
Take me back that long ago
When I first truly fell in love with you
I know that feeling
Been that long since I’ve felt the way it feels

But today I come back
Lay aside the worst things I have done
There’s no better reason
Than for the One that’s loved me all the while

Bridge
So whisper you’re with me
I’m not that strong without you anymore
I need you badly
More than anything I’ve known before

Just amazing, you’re amazing, we’re amazing (G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

To say, to tell you (to tell you)
(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

Just how I feel (G, G/F#)
I feel you (Em, D)

Chorus
Feels like a landslide, no holding back
Like a rainbow, the colours blur

Like an ember, catching fire with a breeze, I know
You’ll always be that girl
With the love that changed my world
(G, G/F#, Em, Cadd)

Verse 2
The burning end, of the candle went
And darkness wins, but if I lose you
My world would tend, to disaster I’ll go crazy without you
It’s worse, so I’ll close my eyes and tell you

Just how I feel (G, G/F#)
I feel you (Em, Cadd)

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Just amazing, you’re amazing; we’re amazing (x4)
Rhyme and rhythm, we’ll sway to the music of angels
Wrong or right, all care about is you tonight.
And this is how it,
How it

So if you want me, you have got me, there’s room for two

Nice words to say,
Things will not change
But they always do
For me
Light starts to fade
The shining light of day
Stare at moon,
It starts to come out,
And I did really want to say

Bridge
So wasting our breath away,
We’re swayed to all other things
Catch the finale, we’ve got to go.
There was a time you made think
I thought it wasn’t happening
To all of us, they say things fall apart.

I’m breaking off now, so keep me close behind
A shooting star bright, lights up the cloudless sky
I make a silent, promise to make things right
But don’t say goodbye yet, even though this might be goodbye
(Csus4, C, Am, Gsus)

Chorus
Every time you’re near, I start to disappear
And I know you don’t see me there
The stranger thing is my gravity that pulls me closer to
Your own, on they’re own.
(C, Gsus, Am, Csus4)

Verse 2
I’m turning back time, to change the things that made
All the pride of mine, turn to agony and shame
I close the lid of, this coffin in the ground
With all the shadows and regrets inside

Take me back (x8) (Am, C, Gsus)

Today, when death diffusion (G, Cadd)
Cursed all our renditions (A, F)
I’m gonna save the world right now (G, Cadd, D)

this song has been a long time coming.
my inspiration for it came in israel when i was on the bus trying to write songs since i was so darn bored. still rmb we stopped along the way in the middle of the desert at this petrol station for a toilet break while i was writing it.
changed most of the lyrics though. i only left most parts of the chorus unchanged.
btw, a previous song i posted already was also written in israel- "Sally, I..."
enjoy. =)

That I’m trying but I keep falling short,
And I’m nothing but yours

Chorus
Cos I’m dying to myself,
And I don’t want nobody else.

You take me away
From all of this.

If Innocence Is White

2008-01-01T05:01:00.000-08:00

If Innocence Is White

Will you forget me, please?

If loving you was right, I’d have given it all I have
That’s a start, make our luck
If destiny had called, then I had left phone
Right there on the kitchen floor

I’ll turn a page, the story goes on the
Lines come thick and fast and I’m soon gone
I hope you know what the ending has
In stored.

I’ve said, before
Close the door
I’m sighing

i wanna thank God for changing my attitude so fast abt the new year.

and so it begins..

This Time

2007-12-27T18:34:00.001-08:00

This Time

Let’s talk about us today.
Let’s talk about all the things we want to say
Let’s just remember all the things that go through our heads
Cos there might come a day where we will forget
It’s not as simple as you think
Cos every time you’re near I start to feel like I am back home
I don’t feel alone anymore,
Cos you make me feel secure

Yes I’m going crazier this time
Yes I think I’ll lose myself to you in time
And I know I just can’t fight this longing
To be where you are
Cos you erase away my scars

You said “hi” yesterday.
And I’ll keep wishing, you’ll say the same everyday
I’ll warn you first that I’m not insane
But there might come a day that you make me that way

From my past, the things that last
Nightmares so real, when your face’s so pale
Your skin so dear, we’ll make it here
And suddenly all I see, is me.

Grace

2007-12-26T05:23:00.000-08:00

Grace

Here I stand, underneath the starry sky
I wonder, wonder why
All good things end, closed eyes count to ten,
Like I’ll become a different man

Right now, I feel so small, in a world so tall, and it’s getting taller
Truth is pain, puts you through this rain, but you chose to take longer

Why, does the innocent cry so loud
When grace is all that sinners have found
This love is just too deep for me to handle,
But you told me I will (you told me I will).

Here I am, with no lies and with no blame
Just me, just the same
Guy you believed in, was I worth believing,
Cos I just can’t be the man you want

I can’t be sure, bout tomorrow’s worth
Cos I don’t hold the world in my hands
No matter how hard I try, still end up wondering why
I know now, I know now

(Csus, G, Am sus, F)

Breaking Point

2007-12-23T06:28:00.000-08:00

Breaking Point

You touched my heart, in a quiet way.
I knew I had nothing to say.
You broke my heart, tore it apart.
This is me today.
It’s been awhile since, I heard you speak
And left me feeling weak
It’s been a year, since I heard you say
The future’s just so bleak
(Plucking G, Cadd, Em, D)

So it comes to me, naturally.
This is how I say
I love you too, but I can’t do
What once led me astray
(G, Cadd, Em, D)

Would you paste up, another reminder (G, Cadd)
I don’t think I could do much better (Em, D)
Than I’m doing now, and I hope you’ll figure it out (G, Em, Cadd, D)
That I’m taking more than I take (Am, C)
I think it’s not long before I break (G, D)
Down. (It’s breaking point somehow.) (Em, C, G, (Am, C, G))

We’re world’s apart, it’s not the same
Thing it’s not the same.
Ten years ago, painted indigo
Who’s the one to blame

I’m not giving you up, (G)
I’m not letting you down. (Cadd, Em)
From indigo to brown, (D)
And I’m just losing control over everything I thought I know (G, Em, Cadd, D)

this song is dedicated to ming jie who asked me to dedicate him a song just as i was composing this one. =)

Sally, I...

2007-12-11T20:14:00.000-08:00

Sally, I…

Verse 1
Sally I don’t know what to say, ever since you went away. Yeah yeah yeah.
And I don’t know what to feel, your absence’s so surreal. Oh oh.
Sally I don’t know what to do, have no clue.
Cos you’re the map on which my life drawn on, can’t carry on.
(D, A, Cadd)
(D, A, G)

Pre-chorus
Everybody needs something. (D, G)
I’m just left with nothing. (A, Cadd)

Chorus
Sally! Even when the rain pours down on my face, (D, A)
I try to smile, try to smile even if it’s just for awhile. (Cadd)
If it makes you happy, I’m just not happy (D, Cadd)
Your figurine, is all I’m keeping. (D, Cadd, G)

Verse 2
Sally your mind’s just too deep, for me to understand
Sally you think you’ve got me wrapped around your finger, but I’ve got a plan
Golly I don’t know what’s going on, now what’s going on
With this hallucination, and complications.

Bridge
From my life (A)
Does it even matter, that I’ve not met her(G, Cadd)
And this time (A)
Can I even afford to smile. (D,G)

You're More Than

2007-11-16T19:38:00.000-08:00

You’re More Than

So can you go (G, D)
This is so. (G)

That ever mattered to me (D, G)

Bring me out, into the light (D, A)
When shadows bind me tight (G)
Hold my hand, I’ll understand (D, A)
Why we don’t know how to comprehend, God’s plan (G, D)
I hope you’ll never be just a friend. (G)

Verse 2
You’re more than, past hurts and the pain (G)
You’re more than, the doubt the lies the rain (D)
You’re more than, who I will become (G)
You’re more than, the end when it’s said and done (D)

Bridge
You’re more than me (G)
You’re more than we (D)
You’re more than just the girl they see. (G, A)

The Most Obvious Fact

2007-11-07T06:06:00.000-08:00

The Most Obvious Fact

Verse 1
It’s starts with a touch, and ends with a kiss (Bm, G)
I love you too much, to resist, (A, G)
This anthem so lame, could you tell me your name. (Bm, G)
The reason’s like this, you’re making me bliss. (A, G)

Pre-chorus
So I took to you, like I knew you since the day I was born. (D, Bm, G, A)
Never thought it was wrong. (D, Bm, G, A)
We’re just losing time, by standing here and staring at our eyes. (D, Bm, G, A)
Never thought we’d pay the price (D, Bm, G, A)

Chorus
For not losing control, (D, A)
And letting go, (Bm, G))
I’d be lying if I said that it wasn’t hard not to think about you (D, A, Bm, G)
Everyday, and every night (D, A)
Sometimes it’s gets impossible not to dream about you (Bm, G, D, A)
When you’re moving, out of sight. (G)

(D, A, G)

Verse 2
You’re making me smile, with your laugh.
It’s nice to know, we’re young at heart.
Your presence so sweet, I’m feeling so weak
You’re making me think, I can make believe.

Bridge
Your face is stuck in my head. (Bm, G)
Your voice is making me red. (Bm, G)
Your smell is all I can feel it in my nose. (Bm, G, Bm, G)
I’m starting to think we’re meant to be (Bm)
And wondering why everyone else just can’t see (G)
What I find the most obvious fact. (Bm, A)

Will this leave me intact? (D, A, G)

arguably the best pop tune i've come up with.
=)

Heaven and Earth

2007-11-06T06:55:00.000-08:00

Heaven and Earth

Verse 1
You called my name, I’m not insane,
I’m just going crazy.
Turn off the lights, and in the dark,
I’ll put my arms around you.
(D, Bm, G, A)

Pre-chorus
Cos I know, the feeling shows (Bm, D)
It’s in our eyes, don’t try to hide in shadows (G, A)
In disguise, but I can hear (Bm, G)
Your heart beat faster (D, A)

Chorus
Aren’t you gonna take me with you (D)
To that heaven and earth (Bm)
And then kiss me so sweet, (G)
Till it just wouldn’t hurt. (A)
From all those things I’ve done, (D, Bm, G)
We’ll put it right somehow, (A, Bm, G)
In this game of love.

(Bm, G, Bm, A)

Verse 2
When I return, won’t hold it back
Everything I’ve been missing.
Please hush down now, no reason to speak,
This silence’s got us both.

Bridge
One is not enough (Bm, G)
I’ve just had enough (C, G)
Of not being with you (Bm)
Not staying the same. (G)

erm. according to michelle anne wee wen yuan, i have a secret admirer.
so this one's kinda dedicated to her (hopefully not a 'him'.. or could it be a 'them'. o.O)

Not Enough

2007-11-01T04:54:00.000-07:00

Not Enough

Verse 1
I look in the mirror, say it’s okay.
Seems like forever, those darker days.
Ever since you left, the flowers all fade.
Without a warning, the storm blew me away.
I’ll try not to miss you, but that seems so tough
When carrying the weight of the world’s not enough
The beauty’s like heaven, the silence’s like hell.
Put them together, it doesn’t end well.
(Em, C)

Chorus
When the sun breaks down, we’ll fall to the ground. (G, D)
After all that’s been, you’ll soon see what I mean, what I’ve seen. (Em, C)
Don’t tell me life’s unfair, ask me who does care (G, D)
It’ll do you well, to know that I pretend I can’t tell. (Em, C)
That you knew all along (G, C)
I could have called you my own. (Em, C, D)

Verse 2
Just spent the morning, next to the lake
That we’ll always go to, spend the whole day.
I’ve always thought that, nothing would change,
But there went the decades, lost in pouring rain.

Bridge
And it’s not enough, today. (Em, C, G)
It’s not enough, even when the world has aged (Em, C, G, D)
A million years after the end. (G, Em, C)

Will these words bring you back.
When all else fails to reconnect
(Em, C)

Could You Teach Me How To Write A Love Song

2007-10-31T22:07:00.000-07:00

Could You Teach Me How To Write A Love Song

Could you teach me, how to write a love song. (E, Asus, C#m, Bm)
I just don’t know, the words to express (E, Asus, E, Bm)
All these feelings so true, (E, Asus)
I’d pour it all on you, (E, Bm)
If only I knew how to (G, D)

Say, I’m sorry, (E, Asus)
Do you want me back again? (Bm, G)
Cos this just cannot end, like this. (Bm, G, D, A)
I’d rather the world to know, (D, A)
That I can’t let you go, (Bm, G)
Than losing you, losing you (E, G, A)
To them. (D)

(D, A, Bm, G) (E)

Could you teach me, how to write a love song,
I just won’t know, how it’s supposed to go.
When the memory won’t stay,
The last thing’s to run away,
So I’m here wanting to

Can you hear what I just said? (D, A)
Or do you think I’m really dead. (Bm, G)
And speaking to you from who-knows-where. (Cadd, G)
Don’t you wanna hear me (E, G)

Nobody Knows

2007-10-26T08:47:00.000-07:00

Or let it show.
Make it once or twice, don’t make me change my mind,
About us.

Pre-chorus
Some things’ meant to be secret. (D, Asus)
I’m just scared to regret. (D, E)

Nobody knows, about us. (A, Bm)
Around us, they’re all insane (G)
Let’s keep it that way. Hey hey. (D, G, A)
May, be we’ll find, time (D, A, G)
To leave this all behind. ( A, G, Bm, A, Bm, G)

Verse 2
They don’t need to know, every place we go,
Play it slow.
It’s not about them, it’s about us,
Can we last.
(Bm, G)

Bridge
You’re closer to a place call home, (D, A)
A place where we can be alone, (G, A)
When seeing is believing. (D, A, G)
I can’t deny the butterflies, (D, A)
In me when I see you standing by. (D, A, G)

about time i wrote smth along these lines!

Undone

2007-10-23T04:00:00.000-07:00

Undone

Verse 1
This one’s for, paper hearts beating. (G)
Another day, another sin I can’t erase. (Cadd)
I found a man, whose wounds were broken. (Em)
But I found the words that were choking. (Cadd)
There we were, lives on giving. (G)
Hell-bent, where’s forgiving? (Cadd)
Try again, it screamed game-over. (Em)
Another coin, makes me sober. (Cadd)

Chorus
I just wanna hold you, till the morning light. (G, D)
Just wanna love you, cos it feels so right. (Em, C)
I wanna be your, only one. (G, D)
Don’t let me miss you, till I come undone again. (Em, C, D)
(I wanna trust you, with all that’s passed
And let you come through, with better things that last.
Please let me be your, only one.
Let me live to, come undone again.
This could be the end.) (G, D, Cadd, G)

Verse 2
Joy and breathing, what happened to who we were. (G)
Got it going, on and then there’s nothing left. (Cadd)
Will I still be strong? Am I right or wrong? (Em)
God knows, God knows, that I. (Cadd)

Bridge
This one’s for, memories forgotten. (G)
We’ll stick them up, with these words that ring true. (Cadd)
And the grey will come alive, (Em)
With thousand colours of the sky. (Cadd)
Dear, (G)
Love. (D)

kinda like this song in a special way.
and like the 1st line says, its dedicated to paper hearts beating. tt kinda means those with fragile hearts for fragile memories.

That Was Awesome Till We Drowned

2007-10-19T01:09:00.000-07:00

That Was Awesome Till We Drowned

You tore me apart with your laughter. (Em, C)
That sickening smile that I’m after. (G, D)
For some reason I can’t seem to forget, (Em, C)
All those subtle lies, (G, Em)
Killing me inside. (C, D)

Do you know what it feels like,
To not know what’s going on.
We’re going going gone,
“That was awesome till we drowned”.
That picture so alive,
My downfall in disguise
And all we’ll be, you’ve gotta set me free.
(Em, C, G, D)

You broke my heart with your answer, (Em, C)
And to think that I just had to fall for you. (G, D)
For the same reason I couldn’t resist, (Em, C)
Dragged across the line, (G, Em)
You stabbed me from behind (C, D)

One time? Not this time. (Em)
I’m blind? Fall in line.(C)
Too late. I cannot wait, forever (G, D)
You know me better.

Arveture

2007-10-12T07:06:00.000-07:00

Arveture

Verse 1
Time tangles, more than we know,
More than we want to believe.
Once always, you made me better,
More than I’d ever know.
Block out, every noise,
Know it’s just you and me.
Cos all that matters, and all will cease,
Is what you think of me.
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)

Chorus
All will begin,
All will end,
Make amends.
Candlelight,
Burns so bright,
And softly.
(D, Em, Cadd, G)
End: Arveture (Cadd)

Verse 2
Hope trickles, in your smile
Could you hold me close a while.
Becomes forever, you know me better,
Just wanted, to let you know.
That times were better, with your endeavor,
Just wait and see.
History, written backwards,
Finds legacies.

Bridge
Oh, oh, oh, oh. (D, Em, Cadd)
Burn so bright,
Oh, oh, oh, oh. (D, Em, Cadd)
We just don’t care, anymore.
We just don’t give, a thought what for.
And time will stand, that I’m sure.
This moment, in Arveture.
Be my friend, give it all.
Be the strength, which makes me sure.
And all I am, is all you are.
This monument, in Arveture.
(G, Cadd, Em, Cadd)
Arveture (2x)
(G, Cadd, G, Cadd)

wrote this song with childhood friends in mind. it goes abt saying tt we've gotta choose to take a stand against everything the world oppresses. and to realize that true friendship is worth living and fighting for.
"Arveture" is not a real word so dont bother checking it up the i came up with it. haha. that means it is copyrighted. the definition of "Arveture" is: the ideal place and fairy-tale world everyone would like to be and live happily ever after in. abit like heaven. for different ppl, Arveture might mean a different thing.

End It Tonight

2007-10-05T07:32:00.000-07:00

End It Tonight

Splitting headaches turn to battle,
A thousand more shields are shattered,
Speaking of the devil makes me queasy,
It just aint easy,
To watch the meadows cast with shadows,
Fear and death get wrapped in tango,
This war’s just another word for weakness,
It’s just the meekness
(D, A, G, A, Asus)

Chorus
End it tonight,
Let’s make things right,
Silence the noise, start to rejoice
Then we’ll be free,
The whole world will see,
That there’s no point in evil.
(D, A, G, A)

The sun goes west the moon turns paler,
This conflict gets ever stranger,
Watching blood-shed makes me livid,
It just aint worth it.
The dreams we had grow cold and hollow,
As pain in eyes U-turn to sorrow,
His breath slowly starts to cease,
Stop this please.

Bridge
There was a time when spring,
Just starts to sweetly sing,
And we’ll just close our eyes,
And drift off in light.
(D, A, Cadd, G)

From Down Below

2007-10-03T20:14:00.000-07:00

From Down Below

Save me one more kiss, please let it be bliss,
Oh, I can’t vent this sorrow
Leave me close behind, then start to cross the line,
Oh, let it show
(Bm, F#m, G, A)

Could it be, (Bm, G)
Be because (A)

From down below, (Bm)
Just it go. (F#m)
We keep breaking up, but I’ll save you the trouble this time. (G, A)
The memory, (D)
Is killing me, (A)
From the start, you broke my heart, (G, A)
So mean it.
(From down below) (Cadd, G, D)

This emptiness real, these wounds they will not heal,
Oh, It’s something from a nightmare
You got me all alone, then stabbed me in the back,
Oh, you should know

It can’t be.

Silence Began To Stir

Silence Began To Stir

Intro
Spin me around, into the ground,
Here we go.

Verse 1
Late night she’s coming home,
Nothing’s been going right, so long.
Her heavy heart’s become,
A thousand pieces, and she’s wondering why the world keeps spinning on.

Pre chorus
Million thoughts go through her head,
Even more so left unsaid
As light blinds her eyes.
That’s the last thing she’ll ever see.

Chorus
The moment locked in my head,
Kept going on and on,
Slow motion took over,
And silence began to stir.
My world came crashing down,
Screamed twice but couldn’t break out,
And all I’m stuck in indeed,
This mystery.

Verse 2
Five years ago we took,
A ride to the cliff you’d wanted to go.
A hundred miles from home,
Staring out at, the ocean so blue and she asked me the reason why I

Pre chorus
Still love her after all,
Even more so when I’d fall
As life breaks you up,
The answer’s wherever you’ll be.

(Am, C, G, D, Am, G, D, F)

Bridge/Extro
Spin me around, into the ground
Here we go

Last Words

2007-08-27T06:47:00.000-07:00

Last Words

No, not taking it
Don’t, stop making me,
Look, cos I’m not like that.
Found, no sense in these words,
You, will never learn,
Watch me fall.

Into something deeper, than what I cannot imagine,
Time goes by, and I’m wondering why I don’t even realize.

I’m falling into you,
Closer into my doom,
And all I wanna do is feel your,
Breath on my skin.
Like crystal sapphire,
We’re down to the wire,
And all I’m asking is to spare me,
The last words

Take, those words of your’s back
You’re, making regret
Those feelings I once felt.
For, you and you should know,
By now we’re out cold,
Watch me slip

Like revelation at the end of the world,
The clock stops for us to twirl,
And choice brings us back to reality,
More than ever before.

Anywhere

2007-08-27T06:40:00.000-07:00

Anywhere

It’s dark, I’m scared,
I wish, You were here,
Sighing, Crying,
Forevermore.

So long, Too long,
You’ve been gone from my arms,
I’ll stand, For us,
That is nothing new.

Cos people keep putting me down,
They say I’m not the man they had found
It’s your picture that’s pulling me through,
Of a brighter future with you.

Away, away

From here.
Anywhere will do, As long as I’ve got you.
Don’t know,
How we are gonna do it, somehow we’re gonna do it.
But I know one thing’s for sure.
(This thing’s true)

I get lost, whenever I’m with you.
You are, my only clue,
On this road,
Just me and you.

I’ve got you to make me strong,
At times when I get lost inside,
All this mess disappears,
You’re the only thing that’s real
To me.

Verse 1
Slowly now, slip away.
Into the night, find your way.
Cos it’s been too, much to take
From the pain, we never made.

Pre-chorus
All I tried to do was my best. (You said I’d fail forever)
And all we got in return was a mess. (I think we loved them much better)
Than this.
Is ignorance bliss?

Chorus
Like this. Like this, like this.

Verse 2
Humble town, our runaway,
Its okay, to feel this way,
Cos time won’t stop, that won’t change,
Being weak just gives, hope some space.

Pre-chorus
And we’ll end up looking at stars. (I hope you feel much better)
I’d like to think that’s where home lies afar. (Just let your thoughts run free)
Like this.
Their joy ain’t bliss.

Chorus
As this. Even heroes grow old.
They need something hold.
And they’ll never know,
I know you’re something much better,
Like this. Like this, like this.

Bridge
We came, we saw, we conquered (x4)
Don’t stop short,
You’re all I’ve got.

Chorus
So this, might never be never,
Please say you’ll stay forever,
Now.

Extro
So, be found,
Don’t fall down,
Cos I’m already on the ground,
And I need you to pick me up.

And you’re already all I need,

Intro
Hey yeah, whoaho(x4)

In a moonlit sky, the song plays on.
Touching hands though that won’t change a thing.
The lasting last thing that I need is grace.

Follow me, your soul,
Feels in my hands so cold,
In something that’s so real,
I see u clear.

Chorus ( Em, C, G)
Lights out,
Night’s out,

I would for you,
I’m blind,
And I am fading,
You are my last goodbye.

This farewell was never easy to say,
We slowly dance to the rhythm away,
Sad eyes but it’s the only way,
Born in darkness, I’ll fix it today.

Smashing Clocks

2007-07-05T00:56:00.000-07:00

We’ve seen it all
Rebellion’s just the beginning,
Holding on to,
All thoughts on what we’re doing
Find the lies,
Cant feel what im feeling now
All right,
The light is blinding our eyes
Tonight,
Nine,

O’clock is all we’ve got
Cos we’ve gotta start smashing clocks,
Time stops and that leaves us ruining what we’re not
Ok, that’s the one word I cant say
Today
Ok?

Simon says,
Put a gun to your head,
More than words can,
Put a message I clear to
Got a license,
To make what we cannot do
All night,
Waking up inside our heads,
Pretend,
It’s ten,

Good night, sleep tight,
You were right, after all
Then Eleven

You, Me, Crazy

2007-04-26T06:55:00.000-07:00

You, Me, Crazy

Stop. Give it to me.
I wonder if you’ve realized that you’ve got me going crazy
Hey. Let’s slowly dance now.
This broken heart’s mine and it’s been this way, since you’ve been gone,
Long, strong, is what I’m not

Chorus
Nothing’s gonna be right,
So long as I cant get u out of my mind
The only thing I think about,
Is your pretty face in the crowd
I know it’s getting late,
But you’ve gotta let me say
I miss you,
So badly

Okay, let’s carry on now
You strangely make me feel this way like I belong now
Oh, you think know me,
But the point is this song is just the beginning,
Sing, ringing, is your voice in my head

Bridge
Words can’t explain
What I want to say

Stop. I’m fading off wow,
But somehow you’ve got me still watching your show now
Yeah. The idea’s so familiar,
And I’m still going ever crazier.

Forever Ends Again

Verse 1
Forever, in love
It ends, in birth
You never, meant ever and again
You’re thinking, of sinking
A life spent, in sleeping
The ink in, your story has no end
The end

And I shall tell you now

Chorus
Things change
But somehow I feel this hasn’t changed at all
The same
Reason why i cant even receive your call
You say
This hope you have will some day become real
But have you noticed
The flaw

Verse 2
I’m losing, the feeling
Of beating, my feelings
The meaning, in meaning happens when
The actions, in fractions,
Were lost in, dejection
The smell of, deception’s in the air
Don’t dare

And I shan’t tell you now

Bridge
The floor
Is where lies lie in store
All the things you thought more of
And forever ends again

Sorry I''ll be late

2006-12-15T20:20:00.000-08:00

Sorry, I’ll be late

Hey, I have to say, (Em, G)
I didn’t think, it would end up this way (Em, G)
(Hey, yeah, yeah) (C, C)
Since you’ve been gone, (Em, G)
The light has slipped, slowly away, (Em, G)
From my day (C, C)

And I hear you, calling me in my sleep, (Em, C, G, D)
I just want to be with you forever. (Em, C, G, D)
Dreaming of the summer, (Em, C)
Well it hasn’t been okay, (G, D)
Sorry I’ll be late. (C, G)

I, see in your eyes,
The reason why, I never gave up
(On myself)
Too much to take,
Still you became, my warmth in the rain,
You were always there

I heard about the weather, (Em, D)
The plane that left would never arrive in town. (Em, C)
So I read your letter, (Em, D)
I hope you know your memory won’t fade away. (Em, C)

Sweet Memories

2006-10-09T22:55:00.000-07:00

You were always there, like I knew you’ll always be. (G, Am, C)
I know I’ll never find someone like you in a million years (G, Am, C)
Come, cry with me, (G, Am)
Come, play with me, (C, G)
Come, sing with me, (Am, C)
Come, live with me, (G)
And I’ll find some place to call home, (Am, C, G)
A place where you are (Am, C)

Tragedies around, wont change your face, a slightest bit u know, (G, Am, C)
Even when all else is cold, even when we’re all too old (G, Am, C)
Keep on smiling like you do, it’s what keeps the sky all blue, (G, Am, C)
Sweet memories of you (G)

Amazing how a petal of the prettiest flower can fall, (G, Am, C)
On the dirty ground beneath, (G, Am, C)
The colour fades till there is nothing left, lost in the brown (G, Am, C)
This silence cannot be too thick (G, Am, C)
But, you will never fall, (G, Am)
Cos, I will catch you, (C, G)
Don’t, turn back in wonder (Am, C)
Just, leave it to destiny (G)
And I’ll find some place to call home (Am, C, G)
A place where you are (Am, C)

Seven years later or so (C, G)
When the time has come for us to go (Am, C, G)
We’ll both know (Am, C)
That the end with bring another start (G, D)
In some place I call home (C, G)
A place where you are (Am, C)

Right From the Heart

2006-09-22T23:52:00.000-07:00

Verse 1
I knew i haven't been too good to you
But then i wasn't given a clue
We both know that i've made it up to you
All you ever wanted was me to love you
And show me that we've got something to prove
I've learnt t'm scared to lose you(and we go)
(C,G,D,A)

Chorus
This is, right from my heart
I do miss you, right from the start
I gotta give you, all my love
I liked u better when you told me everyday
That i wouldn't fall,
When you're around
(C,G,D,A)

Verse 2
You thought some time would suffice
But now we know it's like rolling a dice
True love will find its way home(and we go)

Bridge
This thing's got to my head, so many things left unsaid
I want the comfort to know that we'll live happily ever after

haha..i haven posted a song for quite long..

When I Look Into Your Eyes

2006-08-18T03:17:00.000-07:00

hmm..1st love song ive written..its supposed to be soft and slow..so playing with just a guitar really suits the tune..though i tink abit of drums might be better..for most of my other songs u probably need at least 2 guitars,drums,piano etc.
this is short,sweet, and erm..sweet..
LOL..

When I Look Into Your Eyes

Verse 1
Maybe, I found something i can't see(D,A,Em,G)
(D,A,Em,G)
Hands up, why are you giving up so soon(D,A,Em,G)
(D,A)Yeah(Em,G)
Im wrong, are u sure that's not true(D,A,Em,G)
Cos i cant remember(D,A,G)

Chorus
Like the stars, they shine so brightly(D,A)
But we can never count them ever(Em,G,D)
The rainclouds start to cry(A,Em)
When I look into your eyes(G)
(D,A,Em,G)

Verse 2
I keep on falling, i keep on falling with you
My head starts spinning, but that'll never do
Look on, day's turning to night again
It has reached september

Bridge
Say that again(D,A)
What do you want from me(Em,G)(D,A,Cadd,G)
Wink at me,again(D,A,G)

Post-chorus
Like the win, it won't stop blowing,
And u can bet i'll love u forever
I will show u a thousand times,
That it was meant for you and I

Everything Means Nothing to Me

2006-07-21T04:14:00.000-07:00

Everything Means Nothing to Me

Verse 1
Do you really think, all these really makes u the best
When you've lost yourself, and find that you have failed the final test(Don't know how)
Look up at the sky,mountains don't climb that high
Oh no its getting late,maybe its time to pray

Pre chorus
Everything means nothing to me

Chorus
I cant see far, what the future must bring
Everything i thought right, comes crashing back to me
You can take away, my simple being
But you cant take away, this love for hope again

Verse 2
Watching bombs explode,on television we're so cold
We go to war for peace, cant seem to change this irony(You read my mind)
How then can we love, when its a word we've never truely heard
ok now you've been told, are u gonna sit there as if nothing happened?

Pre-chorus
Have you ever thought this could be

Bridge
Who care's,what you've got
Once you're dead, its all lost
All u'll be, is just a distant memory

Pre-chorus
and u'll think
Everything means nothing to me

well...this is a song full of meaning...and truth...like the bible says its a waste of time and energy storing up treasures in this world when u shd truely be storing up treasures in heaven for they will last foreva...
so wad will ur choice be? lose everything u have and leave a lasting impact? or keep everything to urself and be " just a distant memory"
dun pity the world and just sit there...
do smth abt it...

-hope to find the chords soon cos i tink its the best song ive written-
=)
praise the Lord!

The Cure

2006-07-21T03:36:00.000-07:00

The Cure

Dont say u loved and turn away
My heart's a broken place to stay
The lights go wild you aren't amazed
The awhile would entertain
I cannot leave this world the same
How small things change a life or fame
(C,G,D,A)

Everything inside me is crying out
I can't live this life so insecure
The clock hand ticks a life away
You're the Cure
(C,G,D)

You feel there's nothing left to give
Or something left for us to live
We smile outside we feel so hollow
This world will pass your world remain
I believe you have come to reign
And you will never leave us

Take me some place warm
Where i belong

and Jesus truely is the cure to this world we are sick and tired of...

So Much More

Verse 1
I don’t wanna run away, but every time I hear u say
U cant stop to bear the pain, and you’re driving me insane
Every time you cry out loud, a part of me is burning out
Could you ever lose your way, with me

Chorus
The world is going blind and
So put your hand in mine and see
We’re meant to be
I’d trade my life away for
This thing I need it so much more

Verse 2
Ever thought of giving up, of something we alone messed up
It would all be so easy, just an excuse not to die
How can we go so far, to only find out that we’re back
Shake the clouds and earth to breathe, and see

Bridge
Everything u thought we’d be
Everyone will look and see
Finally so much for us to know

basically everything play(G,D,Em,Cadd)

Behind that Shadow

2006-06-28T04:41:00.000-07:00

Verse 1
I’m told, that someday we will all grow old
I don’t believe that cos I know that if you know the truth then it’ll set you free, I see
Remind, yourself about the time when you had just made up your mind
I see you passing by a chance to
(A,Cadd,G,D)

Chorus
Rise. With everything I’ve found in you,
And everything u know is true
There’s something real behind that shadow.
Don’t hide.
(A,Cadd,G,D)

Verse 2
It's time, don't try shutting out the truth
U know its just no use,
so why don't you go out there and show the world what you are made of inside and embrace your destiny

Bridge
I'm in a vision, a new rhythm,
don't hide, don't hide(3x)
(you're alive)
(A,Cadd,G)

Right now, seasons passed will still return again.

Chorus
Girl dont die, there's so much more to life than u can think

Me against myself

2006-06-21T04:53:00.000-07:00

Verse 1
All night, hearing the rain pouring down(CGDA)
Sleep tight, but there’s no way its goodnight(CGDA)
Slow down, I’m hearing voices all around(CGDAC)
me, breathe(GD)

Chorus
Save me, from my own tragedy
I’m in, darkness has no right to lead
I’m on, the verge of breaking down
I see a light(x3) (CGDA)
Me, against myself.(C,G1,D1,A1)

Verse 2
The moon, has suddenly risen up so soon
I tried, but there’s no use trying to fight
So long, I think I’m ready to move on
now, bye

Bridge
I will, be there(C1,C1,DA)
Someone, find me(C1,C1,DA)
Don’t lose my, memory(C1,C1,DA)
Found the, key(C1,C1,D)

the sky turns dark
as the city lights fade away.
the path runs long,
and i dont want to go
and i still don't know-

Chorus
where's the light gone
turn the switch on
just show me the way home
twist and turn,
i may never return,
like dust blown away.

verse 2
im swallowed up by the trees surrounding me.
i cant turn back,
cos i know that i
have reached so far.

brigde
this may happen to u(G,D)
i have nothing to lose(G,D)
if u have something to prove(E,G)
